David Susskind, Harry S. Truman

An in-depth interview with former President Harry S. Truman. This was Susskind's second "Open End" program broadcast nationally. Subjects discussed included Red China, the Soviet Union, America's role in world affairs, Truman's days as Chief Executive and his philosophy for longevity.

Guests Johnny Carson, Woody Allen, Dave Astor, Jack Carter and Mickey Rooney discuss the world of comedy with David Susskind. This very rare "lost TV broadcast" was Woody Allen's first notable television appearance and was telecast nine months before Johnny Carson would become host of "The Tonight Show."

"Rock N' Roll: The New Loud Sound From Tin Pan Alley," is the topic with guests William B. Williams, Murray "The K" Kaufman, 17 year old Leslie Gore, Bobby Vinton, Goldie Goldmark, Jack Keller and 23 year old Phil Spector.
